God hopefully they don't make the GPU worse in the iMac.
I don't give a crap if they add blu-ray players until they add the burners, support for bluray in compressor and dvd studio pro, etc. SERIOUSLY.
Also if they take away firewire I'm driving to cupertino (not that far) and self-immolating in front of the goddamn Apple head quarters....get it? Fire? Reply

@TheCrudMan: I doubt very much that they would take Firewire out of the Mac desktops without an adequate substitute. No doubt they'll keep FW800, which is perfectly fine. I still say they should put an Express slot, or an eSATA port and an SD card reader if not all 3. The damn thing is huge. They can fit.

@TheCrudMan: So when I open the new Compressor and it asks if I want to render for Blu-Ray.... It's just kidding?

@Kaiser-Machead: I think they honestly should replace FW800 with 2 FireWire 3200 ports. The tech's already been ready for over a year now.
Also, maybe eSATA or what else you said. Reply

Yes.
That is referring to making an AVCHD Disk which are regular DVDs that are burned to use HD quality using the AVC codec. They only will play in a Blu-Ray player (and then only in some models.)
In any case even if compressor could encode into a Blu-Ray format (which it can't) it'd be a mute point without support in DVD studio pro. Reply

@TheCrudMan: Wow... I never tried. Now that I know.... Ima make some Blu-Ray DVD's.
I was considering getting a Mac Pro, dropping in a Blu-Ray Drive and using Roxio... but then I realized if I was going to rig a mac for support I may as well just send raw files to a friggin PC and pay halfprice for the hardware.
If they add support to the OS, ad a capable GPU and put it on Mac Pro's, I'm sold. Reply
